818-506-5436 Based on Noël Coward's only published novel, Pomp and Circumstance, this new comedy by K. M. Williams revolves around four Englishwomen who served in London during WWII as officers, drivers, and mechanics in the MTC. They meet again in 1956 on Samolo (Coward's imaginary South Sea island). Longing respectively for approval, success, excitement, and sex, Grizel, Sandra, Daphne, and Eloise (the Duchess of Fowey) juggle husbands, lovers, intrigue, star-crossed romances, disease, and amateur theatrics as they prepare for a Royal Visit by the new monarch, Queen Elizabeth II... and Prince Philip. Starring Kitty Swink at Grizelda Craigie. More Info back to top |
